Good show guys. Audio quality is good and it starts playing extremely quickly. jQuery is the way to go, but hopefully it will never get built-in to CF in a way that locks you into a specific version of jQuery. Good luck with the rest of the shows.

With ColdExt, the idea is that the tags are just as quick and easy to work with as what was built-in to CF8, but with the added benefit of using Ext 2.x (and other new versions as they are released) and to support a number of CF engines, including CFMX7, CF8, Railo and OpenBD.

I should have a new version ready to roll in the next couple of weeks with Ext 2.2.1 and some new user extensions. I'll be sure to include a link to the work you've done on the Dreamweaver support :)

Great show. First one with real teeth. I'd love if you could get a blog posting up elaborating on the Firebug security work around. Some serious security issues there if somebody is using firebug to analyze Ext/YUI data calls. Again...I really like where this show is going.Jimmy

good presentation. I'm curious now that CF9 is released, but Uses EXT3, is there a way to use ColdEXT still which is based on the EXT2.2 engine. I heard around the 30 minute marker of this presentation that you were going to super class the EXT2.2 engine. I'm not sure that would work; but do you remember your results?
